Transitional cell carcinoma | These types of cancer cells occur inside the bladder lining. These cells will grow themselves when the bladder is full and contract when it is empty. As per the stats, it is the most common type among the three. |
Squamous cell carcinoma | The growth of these cancer cells occurs with irritation and infection. With time they may become cancerous. Although, this one is rare. The chances of its occurrence are higher when there is an increased risk of parasitic infection. |
Adenocarcinoma | With these types of cells, there will be mucus-secreting glands in the bladder. |
What are the causes of Bladder Cancer?
Although, it is not clear why bladder cancer occurs. Some of the studies have pointed out that it is linked to smoking, chemical exposure, radiation, and parasitic infection. Bladder cancer occurs when cancer cells start to grow uncontrollably in the bladder. Due to the DNA mutations, the cells start to grow and divide in excess which eventually leads to a tumor.

Stage 2 | Cancer cells have spread to the muscle layer in the bladder. |
